Sirajul Haq expressed the hope that the NAB would be able to catch hold of the plunderers and recover their ill gotten wealth from them and none of the plunderers would be spared.

He said the corrupt rulers had on one hand, brought bad name to the country and on the other hand, burdened the people under heavy debt.

He said that in the given situation, the JI was the only hope for the masses
